BREAKING; Watch Out, SEC—LSU Just Got Way More Dangerous from Deep!

LSU, one of just two SEC teams left out of this year’s NCAA Tournament, has already started reloading for next season. The Tigers landed a commitment from Portland transfer Max Mackinnon, his agent Daniel Moldovan confirmed to ESPN Thursday night.

Mackinnon, a 6-foot-6 wing from Australia, averaged 14.5 points while shooting an impressive 41% from beyond the arc for Portland this past season. He also posted 4.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and shot 88.7% from the free throw line. Originally starting his college career at Elon, Mackinnon spent two seasons there before transferring to Portland for the 2024-25 season.
